      Patient Orders

      Each bed has an occupancy status. Only certain statuses allow you to take an order for the patient. Tap the drop-down box under the bed to change it
      Tap on a status to select it
      These statuses will allow you to take an order for the patient: - Order - Special Diet – the patient has special dietary needs - Assisted – the patient needs assistance to eat - Exception – used for food orders taken outside of order periods (used for online ordering) These statuses do not require an order: - Nil By Mouth – the patient is receiving nil by mouth - Empty – the bed is empty - Declined – the patient has declined the offer of a meal - Unavailable – the patient is unavailable If you select one of these statuses, the bed will turn grey and you will not be able to take an order for it.
      These statuses may very depending on your system set up. Contact your system administrator for further information
